Symmetry: do you need to be able to perform your major moves on both sides of your body with equal skill? This is a question I’m often asked. The human body itself is asymmetrical. Almost everyone is either right handed or left handed and we heavily favor one side. Your jiu jitsu will inevitably reflect this fundamental fact. Most great champions are considerably better at performing their favorite moves on one side than the other. Indeed, I would go further and say that in most cases it’s better for most people to focus mostly on their preferred side for their major offensive moves so that they can get the training volume to create a truly strong move that will be effective at championship level. I’d rather have a world beating right hand Guillotine and no left hand Guillotine than an average Guillotine on both sides. In some cases, especially defensive moves, you might need symmetry. For example a side elbow escape. You never know which side of the body your opponent will pin you so shouldn’t you be equally good on both sides? Even here I would argue that side symmetry is required but that move symmetry is not required. For example, after my hip replacement I still had an acceptable right side elbow escape but my left side elbow escape dropped to truly feeble levels. However, I compensated by switching focus to left side high leg escape which I could still perform at adequate levels of competence. In this way I was symmetrical in the POSITION , but not with MOVES. This is the most natural and effective was for most athletes to develop over time.

Good morning on the mats, 6am Nogi followed by 7am Gi 🥋
Back tonight starting at 5pm with kids classes then, Nogi & Gi 💪🏼

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu | Ceres Bjj | ReadingCeres BJJ Reading Ceres BJJ, Private Brazilian Jiu Jitsu facility in Reading, Berkshire

Seeing progress: One of the hardest things about jiu jitsu is the feeling that you aren’t making progress despite all your efforts in training. It’s natural to feel this way - you train in a room with other students who are learning the same moves you are and who are familiar with your game. As you progress they also progress at a similar rate and in similar directions since you’re all products of the same room. Just as a car on the highway next to you traveling at the same speed as you are appears stationary from your viewpoint even though you’re both moving forward very fast, so too your progress can seem stationary when everyone else is moving at roughly the same speed as you. Don’t despair - the only times you go backwards in Jiu jitsu is when you don’t train at all for extended periods of time. It’s damn near impossible to train regularly with commitment and not make solid forward progress. While it’s true that not everyone progresses at the same speed and for some athletes in some training programs it’s possible to make remarkable progress in a relatively short time, don’t worry too much about your learning rate vs their learning rate. Remember that’s anyone’s progress can be derailed by unforeseen issues, injuries or impediments. HOW FAST YOU PROGRESS IS NOT NEARLY AS IMPORTANT AS HOW LONG YOU PROGRESS. Don’t despair over rate of progress - take heart in the knowledge that if you train longer and more consistently you’ll overtake all those who started faster.

Women’s only class this morning 👌🏼
